Missing Screws!!!
My friend bought me a no-named brand knife from a place near parry sound Ontario.
I've had it for about 4 months now and i recently noticed that some of the screws are missing.
so I was just wondering if anyone on here knew what kind of screw it might be and where I could purchase such screw

Re: Missing Screws!!!
Take knife to a hardware store ( big box or family owned) and test it out with their
stock. I think Lowe's has in its hardware department a plate that has different size holes
with labeled screw size.
You can take one of the remaining screw(s) as an example. Probably all the screws used
are the same size.

If you find screws that fit use some Loctite on the threads so ya' don't lose anymore.

Re: Missing Screws!!!
Torx screws aren't metric or standard really.
They are just numbered ... T9, T10, etc.
As I recall, the tiny torx on my Leek and Chive are T6.

Correcto mundo signor. And the large pivot screw for the blade is T9.royal0014 wrote:

Torx refers to the drive system and has nothing to do with the threads on the fastener. The appropriate Torx driver can be used for either metric fasteners or SAE fasteners. (see chart below)

Re: Missing Screws!!!
Are you really missing screws or is that knife designed so that you can move the pocket clip? Just wondering

Re: Missing Screws!!!
Tom, he's missing at least one screw. See how the glass breaker is tilted out and in the next picture the missing screw is obvious (after some image manipulation)
